code-mate-pi

Helps your agent analyze and implement tasks in code repositories. It's useful for when you want the agent to work on specific parts of a project.

What it does

This agent runs a tool called 'Pi' to analyze or implement specific tasks in your code. It does this automatically, without needing continuous interaction.

When to use it

  • ✓When you want the AI to analyze a piece of code to find issues.
  • ✓When you need the AI to implement a specific feature in your project.
  • ✓When you want to automate a repetitive code analysis task.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Analyze this file and tell me if there are any syntax errors.”

How to use

The easiest way: copy the message below and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI. It reads the skill and follows the instructions.

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/CherryHQ/cherry-studio/blob/main/resources/code-cli-skills/code-mate-pi/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

It runs the 'Pi' program in the background, setting it up to analyze your code and return results in a computer-readable format (JSON). It checks if 'Pi' is installed and if access settings are correct before starting.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add CherryHQ/cherry-studio --skill code-mate-pi

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CherryHQ/cherry-studio/main/resources/code-cli-skills/code-mate-pi/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md
Technical content (original SKILL.md)

Original text by the author, straight from GitHub.

Pi

Run

  1. Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
  2. Check availability with command -v pi. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install Pi in Code Mate.
  3. Run one sessionless task:
pi --mode json --no-session "<prompt>"

Pass the prompt as one quoted argument. Parse stdout as JSONL and inspect error events; Pi can report model or tool failure in the event stream, so process exit alone is insufficient. Never start interactive Pi or /login.

Authentication And Permissions

If Pi reports missing login, model, provider, or API configuration, stop and ask the user to configure Pi in Code Mate. Never request, read, print, or copy credentials.

Pi has no tool-approval prompt and normally exposes read, write, edit, and Bash tools. For analysis, append --tools read,grep,find,ls. Include write, edit, or Bash only when the user explicitly requested workspace changes, and keep the tool list and working directory as narrow as possible.

Example: run a read-only diagnosis with --tools read,grep,find,ls, then use the final JSONL message only if no error event occurred.

FAQ

What is 'Pi'?

'Pi' is a program that helps analyze and work with code automatically.

What does 'non-interactive' mean?

It means the agent does the work by itself, without asking for your permission or confirmation at each step.

What happens if 'Pi' is not installed?

The agent will let you know that 'Pi' needs to be installed for it to work.

Details

Original description by the author

Runs Pi non-interactively and parses its JSON event stream for repository tasks. Use when the user asks to delegate a bounded analysis or implementation task to Pi.
